I am a Hoosier through and through, born in Richmond and attending colleges and universities within the state. I have traveled extensively domestically and internationally through my early work experience with an Indianapolis based airline. I would always be most excited about getting back home so we could spend our time off in Indianapolis. I remember when, one late night, our airline flew the then "Baltimore Colts,” into Indianapolis, where they would become the now beloved Indianapolis Colts.
My life has been dedicated to improving the lives of others. I have sat on various Boards and given many pro bono hours to those who have found themselves in need of a helping hand.
